Sikh Gurus celebrated Diwali, and here shameless Khalistanis created the new festival "Bandi Chor Diwas" for demean Hindus
The story of "Sixth Guru Hargobind releases 52 Hindu Kings from jail" is fake and copied from Kabir Granthavali.
If the Gurus have celebrated Diwali, why are modern-day Sikhs having so much trouble celebrating the same festival?
Hukamnama of Guru Gobind Singh dated 5 Oct 1699 C.E, asking Sikhs to attend the Jormela of Diwali.
No mention of "Bandi Chor Diwas"
English translation of the Abov Hukamnamah:
If there was something called "Bandi Chor Diwas" that existed, the Guru would have mentioned it.
The problem is not with the celebration of the festival; the problem is with the story or purpose of the festival itself, which shows fake superiority and demean Hindus
Hukumnama of Guru Teg Bahadur mentions "Diwali," not Bandi Chor Diwas.
If they want to create a new festival, I am fine with it. However, don't try to propagate that "you saved us".
The purpose of the festival should be devotion and dedication to the gurus or gods. It should not be used as a tool of propoganda to show inferiority to others
This is from Kabir Granthavali, which mentions "Bandi Chor".
The story tells that Sant Kabir has freed ("Bandi Chor") thousands of Sadhus.
